Acțiunile și alegerile pe care le fac indivizii sunt în strânsă legătură cu sursele lor de informare. Prin cuvinte, simboluri, imagini și sunete se pot obține de la oameni reacții firești de solidaritate și bunăvoință. Dar presa poate, de asemenea, trezi în oameni sentimente de ură și violență. Pentru ca reacțiile cetățenilor să fie pe potriva valorilor umane pe care le împărtășește Republica Moldova, cel puțin la nivelul retoricii oficiale, statul trebuie să-și protejeze spațiul informațional, să fie securizat, în măsura în care este realizabil acest deziderat, în condițiile în care permit legile democratice care guvernează Republica Moldova. Studiul de față încearcă să analizeze starea în care se găsește la ora actuală spațiul informațional al Republicii Moldova, cu toate vulnerabilitățile sale și oportunitățile pe care le are, în ideea de a fi identificate modalități prin care se pot ajusta normele legale și pune în aplicare cele existente, așa încât spațiul informațional să fie securizat în măsura în care este realizabil acest deziderat.

  • ADEPT Political Commentaries
    ADEPT Political Commentaries September-December 2004 Concerns on the eve of elections Igor Botan, 15 September 2004 Democracy and governing in Moldova e-journal, II year, no. 37, August 30 - September 12, 2004 With the launch of the fall political season analysts and media alike engaged in assessing preparations for parliamentary elections. According to their estimates, elections might be held late May or even June next year. The source for such predictions is the Constitution itself. Paragraph 3 Article 61 of the Constitution provides that "election of Parliament members will be started not later than 3 months from the end of the previous mandate or from the dissolution of the previous Parliament". Article 63 specifies that "the mandate of the current Parliament may be extended until the structure of the new Parliament has been completed and the latter can meet in full session" that according to the same article is held "within at most 30 days from election day". That is why it is considered that Parliament mandate commences on the day of its first session. Given that the last parliamentary elections were held on February 25, while the Parliament was convened on a first session via a Presidential Decree on March 20, 2001, it is expected that parliamentary elections would be held sometime during the three months March 21 - June 21, 2005. This estimation is logical and at the first glance seems accurate. Arguments cited by those who claim election date would be set for the end of May or even June cite, derive from the supposed interests of the ruling party.

  • OSW COMMENTARY NUMBER 168 1 European Integration (AIE)
    Centre for Eastern Studies NUMBER 168 | 22.04.2015 www.osw.waw.pl An appropriated state? Moldova’s uncertain prospects for modernisation Kamil Całus There have been several significant changes on Moldova’s domestic political scene in the wake of the November 2014 parliamentary elections there. Negotiations lasted nearly two months and re- sulted in the formation of a minority coalition composed of two groupings: the Liberal-Democratic Party (PLDM) and the Democratic Party (PDM). New coalition received unofficial support from the Communist Party (PCRM), which had previously been considered an opposition party. Contrary to their initial announcements, PDLM and PDM did not admit the Liberal Party led by Mihai Ghim- pu to power. Moreover, they blocked the nomination for prime minister of the incumbent, Iurie Leancă. Leancă has been perceived by many as an honest politician and a guarantor of reforms. This situation resulted in the political model present in Moldova since 2009 being preserved. In this model the state’s institutions are subordinated to two main oligarch politicians: Vlad Filat (the leader of PLDM) and Vlad Plahotniuc (a billionaire who de facto controls PDM). With control over the state in the hands of Filat and Plahotniuc questions are raised regarding the prospects of Moldova’s real modernisation. It will also have a negative impact on the process of implementation of Moldova’s Association Agreement with the EU and on other key reforms concerning, for example, the judiciary, the financial sector and the process of de-politicisation of the state’s institutions. From both leaders’ perspective, any changes to the current state of affairs would be tantamount to limiting their influence in politics and the economy, which would in turn challenge their business activities.

  • 2021:Time to Upgrade Us-Moldova Relations
    2021: TIME TO UPGRADE USPolicy – M BridgesOLDOVA with RELATIONS the EU: Securing Europeanisation process of the Republic of Moldova DEC 2020 NICU POPESCU AND CRISTINA GHERASIMOV 2021: TIME TO U PGRADE US -MOLDOVA RELAT IONS POLICY BRIEF Nicu Popescu and Cristina Gherasimov EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Considering the start of a new political cycle both in Washington and Chisinau, time is ripe for a major upgrade in US-Moldova relations . But partnerships are truly sustainable if they are a two-way street. Moldova can, of course, continue being a major beneficiary of US support, but it is important for it to bring more to this bilateral partnership as well. An upgraded US-Moldova partnership could rely on even stronger US support for the rule of law and anti-corruption efforts: the fight against money laundering, investigations of financial crimes, recovery of stolen assets, increase the efficiency and reform of the justice sector. The US and Moldova should deepen their cooperation in the field of security by seeking ways to intensify institutional partnerships between their respective security sectors on several policy fronts such as cyber security, defense cooperation and intelligence matters. Continued support for civil society and independent media, not least through medium and long-term institutional funding, will play a key role in defining the extent of success of reforms in the following years. Should Moldovan authorities be able to pursue several years of sustained anti-corruption reforms it is important for both parties to look into ways to open the possibility for Moldova to benefit from a second Millennium Challenge Corporation program.

  • Will the Election Results Affect Moldova's Foreign Policy?
    Analytical Bulletin by the Committee for Freedom of the Press email: [email protected] www.imedia.md phone / fax: + 373 22 21 41 55 news / news analysis: 2010, December 01 (ENG) • Daily summary: Tuesday, November 30 • Will the election results affect Moldova's foreign policy? Daily summary: Tuesday, November 30 CHIŞINĂU (Imedia) - The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) meets to come up with an offer to govern together with the Democratic Party (DP) and the Liberal Party (LP). „We will negotiate with our alliance colleagues. We will not change our coalition partners. The LDP will not, however, accept blackmail and conditions. /.../ Before we move on to distributing seats we need to set up principles according to which the next alliance will function,” LDP head Vlad Filat says. Although a meeting between the three party leaders was initially scheduled for November 29, it was postponed for December 1 after Mr. Filat said he needed to speak to Chisinau's foreign partners, including the European People's Party and foreign ambassadors. The LDP head also announced he would hold talks with the Party of Communists (PC). „I am interested in their viewpoint on the situation in Moldova,” Mr. Filat noted. The P.M. was optimistic about being able to convince the Communists to vote for the President. The LP, the LDP, and the DP hold 59 seats in the new Parliament. They need 61 to elect a head of state. * * * DP honorary head Dumitru Diacov tells Russian daily Nezavisimaia Gazeta that negotiations to create a new governing coalition will begin after the Communists and the Liberal Democrats present a viewpoint.
